What kind of developer are you?

Builder, Coder or Creator — three levels that decide how much of the workshop you see. Pick the one that fits, and change it whenever you like.

Making games can be as simple as snapping blocks together, or as deep as writing your own code and publishing to the world. So mebobox lets you choose how much you want to take on — a level — and grow into more when you’re ready.

One thing is the same at every level: you can make a game, play it on a mebobox, and share it with friends by its six-letter code straight away. The levels only change how much of the workshop is on screen.

Builder

Make games by snapping blocks together. The perfect place to start — no typing, nothing to set up. You get Creator Studio with block coding, and you can play and share your games right away.

As you build, Creator Studio shows you the real code your blocks make, right beside them. You don’t have to read it — but it’s always there, so without even trying you start to see how the blocks you drag turn into actual programming. It’s a gentle, no-pressure way to pick up how code works.

Coder

Everything a Builder can do, plus write real code. When blocks can’t quite do what you imagine, turn on Edit and edit your game’s files yourself. Coder also lets you connect your own mebobox and see what’s on it.

Creator

The full workshop. Everything above, plus the Creator Hub — where you upload games made in other tools, manage everything you’ve made, and ask to list a game in the public Library for everyone to find.

Changing your level

You choose a level when you sign up, and you can change it any time from the Level button at the top of the page. Nothing you’ve made ever goes away when you switch — moving up simply shows you more, and moving down just tidies the view.
